Can anyone see a change in playing style?

I too agree with FLA, some real positives from Cresswell and Kouyate, can't wait to see Richardson on the right side of defense.

Hoping that the reluctance to play new signings is that they're...well...new! I would at least like to think that until Valencia, Zarate and hopefully Sahko have had time to train together, they won't be thrown into the fire.

While we all would like to see new options in the attacking third, they won't get in the team until they've been defensively drilled in Sam's system. If I'm wrong in any or all of the suppositions, then just refer to the thousand of other BFS out threads for my future sentiments.

I hear what you are saying, but i still am left wondering what Samantha is up to.

Ok, not throwing our newbies into the fire,i get that, but he had Zarate on the bench, already tried and tested and up to speed, but he puts on Valencea whom he said was too rusty. I can see both sides of the reason for it, but in a game we all really wanted to win i am left wondering.

So, we'll (unt the man off for not using the exact same substitute as you would? Sorry Jon, that seems a touch like nit picking...if he'd have some how managed to bring on Messi, some here would have found fault if the result would have stayed the same.

I thought we played pretty well considering we were playing against a side who's ambitions are top 4. Still can't stick the ball in the back of the net, which looks like it could be our problem for the rest of the season.

I know, why don't we sack Teddy? That's his fu(king job and that wasn't good enough!

Ok so tell me, would you play a " match shy striker " who you have already stated isnt fully ready over one that is?

Now his excuse can be to give him some playing time, OK i would see that in any other match other than this one. And he held off from it for most of the match we were at an advantage. !2 minutes from time seems like he decided we were relatively safe for a point so lets give him a go.

Have I missed something? Who the heck is Richardson?

Maybe we've signed Micah Richards and no-one has told us? Decent signing if we have...

I don't think changing my previous post to Jenkinson will make my optimism come to fruition, but for clarities sake!

Tbh mate a lot of Arsenal fans I've spoken to said the bloke is pony. But hopefully they're wrong and your optimism will prove to be fully justified.
